PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Dyscalculia (4 October 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of (a) tax and (b) pay slip processes for individuals with dyscalculia.

Asked by:
Claire Hazelgrove (Labour)

Answer

As tax and pay slip processes cover a significant range of HMRC activity, HMRC have not been able to provide a specific impact assessment for individuals with dyscalculia.

The HMRC Charter and Principles of support set out HMRC’s commitments to identifying and supporting all customers who need extra help. The need for extra help can cover a range of circumstances which could include individuals with dyscalculia.
